Sailport Waterfront Suites
The room was clean. The location was perfect. It is a short trip 15-25 minutes to Tampa, depending on traffic. This hotel is about 30 minutes from Clearwater and St Petersburg beaches. I loved the bonfires on the Tampa bay every night. We rented a 2 bedroom bayside. The balcony was great!!
